  • Community Structure of Zooplankton and Trophic Status of Some Inland Reservoirs in the Low Country Intermediate Zone of Sri Lanka
    Sri Lanka J. Aquat. Sci. 20 (2) (2015): 59-74 Community structure of zooplankton and trophic status of some inland reservoirs in the low country intermediate zone of Sri Lanka S.M.A.I. Sangakkara and M.J.S. Wijeyaratne* Department of Zoology and Environmental Management, University of Kelaniya, Kelaniya, Sri Lanka *Corresponding author: e-mail- [email protected] Abstract Diversity and abundance of zooplankton in relation to nitrate–N and total phosphorus levels of 20 minor and medium scale reservoirs in the low country intermediate zone of Sri Lanka were studied in June-October 2013. Total phosphorus content ranged from 0.029 mg L-1 recorded in Wendaruwewa reservoir to 0.529 mg L-1 recorded in Karangamuwa reservoir and Nitrate-N content varied from 1.186 mg L-1 recorded in Adukkane reservoir to 5.625 mg L-1 recorded in Anukkane reservoir indicating that all reservoirs studied are eutrophic. During the present study, a total of 43 species of zooplankton, comprising 31 species of rotifers, 9 species of cladocerans and 3 species of copepods were recorded. Number of zooplankton species in any one reservoir, which ranged from 4 to 13, was significantly correlated with the nitrate-N content (p<0.05). The most widely distributed zooplankton species was Diacyclops nanus, which was present in 15 reservoirs. Abundance of zooplankton ranged from 4 individuals L-1 recorded for Alona monocantha and Chydorus parvus in Wendaruwewa and Metiyagane reservoirs respectively to 1017 individuals L-1 recorded for Filinia terminalis in Galewela reservoir. Margalef index which ranged from 0.532 in Adukkane reservoir to 2.096 in Dewahuwa reservoir, was significantly correlated with nitrate-N content of water (p<0.05).

  • Annual Performance Report 2016
    Annual Performance Report 2016 Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources Management Message of the Secretary to the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources Management Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources Management has invested Rs. 30.28 Bn for the Development and Management of Water Resources in 2016. Gin Nilwala Diversion Project is the largest major irrigation project that the Ministry has launched with its pipeline investments. It should be mentioned here that the project had been temporary hold up due to unavoidable circumstances throughout the year, though a sum of Rs. 4 Bn had been allocated under 2016 budget estimate. Yet, it was able to get the approval from cabinet of Ministers to assign the EIA study and Geological Survey under the 1st phase of the project to the CAMC Engineering Company Ltd after discussing with them whom the contract agreement was made. It was able to get the EIA approval for the Thalpitigala Reservoir Project and it was expected to negotiate with EXIM Bank of China for funding through the Department of External Resources. Lower Malwathu Oya Reservoir Project is one of the important projects which funds have been allocated under the Ministry. By end of 2016, Cabinet approval was obtained to award Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract to the CAMC Engineering Company Ltd of China and they were asked to submit technical and financial reports. The initial works for the recruitment of staff for the Gin Nilwala Diversion, Thalpitigala and Lower Malwathu Oya Reservoir projects were already commenced at the end of the year 2016. It is to be noted that the Climate Resilience Improvement Project has reached to 32% of cumulative physical as well as financial performance at the end of 2016.
